Archaeopteryx - Eichstätter Exemplar - Original - Jura Museum Willbaldsburg - Eichstätt
Archaeopteryx heißt übersetzt "Alte Feder". Er ist ein sehr früher prähistorischer Vogel und datiert etwa vor 150 Millionen Jahren während der Jurazeit. In diesem Zeitraum lebten neben Archaeopteryx viele Dinosaurier. Das erste Skelett eines Archaeopteryx, das man fand, wurde ursprünglich wegen der schlecht konservierten Federn als ein kleiner Dinosaurier der Gattung Compsognathus beschrieben. Insgesamt sind mittlerweile zehn Skelett-Funde des Archaeopteryx bekannt. Es ist der früheste bekannte Vogel (Urvogel).
Der fossile Urvogel Archaeopteryx lithographica ohne Schädel aus der Jura-Zeit wurde auf der Langenaltheimer Haardt bei Solnhofen in den Plattenkalken gefunden, die auch Lithographischer Schiefer genannt werden. Im Ober-Jura, vor etwa 150 Millionen Jahren, lag die Landmasse welche heute Deutschland ist, in der Nähe des Äquators und die Thetys reichte bis in die heutige Region des Altmühltals.
In dieser Zeit waren große Teile Mitteleuropas von einem warmen, subtropischen Schelfmeer bedeckt. Durch den damals hohen Meeresspiegel waren die Landmassen zu Inseln geschrumpft. Das heutige Fundgebiet der Urvogel-Fossilien entsprach zu dieser Zeit einer dem Festland vorgelagerten flachen Lagunenlandschaft mit zahlreichen Riffen. In den wannenförmigen Vertiefungen zwischen den Riffbauten lagerte sich feinkörniger Kalkschlamm ab, der sich über Jahrmillionen zu Kalkstein, den Solnhofener Plattenkalken, verfestigte. In ihm sind unzählige Fossilien, meist Meerestiere, versteinert. Aufgrund seiner feinkörnigen Struktur bildet der Plattenkalk selbst kleinste Details von Federn ab.
Alle Urvögel wurden in den Plattenkalken um Solnhofen im Altmühltal in Bayern gefunden. (aus “Tierdoku.com“)
Bisher wurden zehn mehr oder minder gut erhaltene Skelette der Gattung Archaeopteryx sowie eine einzelne Feder gefunden. Alle diese Fossilien stammten aus den Schichten des oberen weißen Jura in den Steinbrüchen bei Eichstätt, Solnhofen, Langenaltheim und Jachenhausen bei Riedenburg. Der Abdruck der einzelnen Feder wurde 1860 entdeckt, das erste Skelett 1855 („Haarlemer Exemplar“) und das bisher letzte Exemplar 2005. (aus Wikipedia)

Here is a 3D print of our WIP version of our full size compsognathus..
It was printed with a Raise3D N Plus 3D printer.
On movies maquettes are printed to have a better view of what the model will look like on film, they can be used as reference on the set for lighting too.
The head was printed with a 0.4 layer depth.
Here are the link and information to the printer we used:

Compsognathus was a small bipedal dinosaur. The animal was the size of a turkey and lived around 150 million years ago, the early Tithonian stage of the late Jurassic Period, in what is now Europe. Paleontologists have found two well-preserved fossils, one in Germany in the 1850s and the second in France more than a century later. Many popular presentations still describe Compsognathus as a "chicken-sized" dinosaur because of the small size of the German specimen, which is now believed to be a juvenile form of the larger French specimen. Compsognathus is one of the few dinosaurs for which the diet is known with certainty: the remains of small, agile lizards are preserved in the bellies of both specimens. Teeth discovered in Portugal may be further fossil remains of the genus.
Although not recognized as such at the time of its discovery, Compsognathus is the first dinosaur known from a reasonably complete skeleton. Today, C. longipes is the only recognized species, although the larger specimen discovered in France in the 1970s was once thought to belong to a separate species, C. corallestris.
